Item overview

Shield Generator restores 1 armor every 10 seconds without taking damage. Each hit resets the timer, so it works best when you can get clear between hits.

• Defense
• Armor recovery
• Damage-free timer

Recovery

1 armor every 10 seconds.

Interruption

Taking damage resets the timer.

Capacity

Recovery capacity is a separate limit; do not assume unlimited armor.

Strengths

• Can recover armor between separated hits.
• Offers armor recovery for an Astronaut setup that benefits from armor.

Weaknesses

• Repeated damage can keep resetting recovery.
• It does not supply the damage or movement needed to get out of a crowd.

When to pick it

You can regularly go long enough without damage for armor to recover.

When to skip it

You are taking frequent hits and cannot create a recovery window.

Priorities

1. Keep enough distance to finish a recovery interval.
2. Check the current item’s capacity and marked-item rules.
3. Preserve the attack that lets you escape repeated contact.

Builds and combinations

Body ArmorAdditional armor comes with a movement tradeoff.AstronautArmor contributes to Spacesuit’s critical-hit mechanic.Astronaut armor and crit buildHow armor recovery fits the wider character setup.

Shield Generator restores one armor every ten seconds. Taking damage resets the timer.

Move clear after a hit. Staying inside the same group can restart the timer repeatedly, preventing the armor from returning. Do not count the next hit against protection that has not recovered yet.

Astronaut has another reason to value armor because Spacesuit links it with critical support. The Generator remains defense; it does not replace the damage needed to escape.
